Quick Passing Basics

Complete Quick package consists of 3 patterns 1) Hitch 2) Slant 3) Fade Patterns are always mirrored on both sides of the ball. Taught as a complete pattern not just individual routes. All players must be able to run all routes within the pattern and know their routes purpose. No primary receiver all receivers are to run complete routes and expect the ball every play.

QBs pre-snap read will dictate the side hell be throwing to. QBs key is always one defensive player with only 2 options -- he does this - I do that. Several formations, motioning and adjustment tags give the illusion of complexity to the defense. For a side that has only one receiver in tight, well apply a Common Sense Rule: If #1 is in tight, an outside route doesnt make sense. Run a route to occupy the middle of the field.
